I was searching for a low fat, steamed snack . I got this  ammini kozhukattai recipe from a blog . I did some changes and tried it. It was very soft & tasty.

 INGREDIENTS

Rice flour - 1 cup Water – 1.5 - 2 cups Oil - 1 drop Salt - As needed TO  TEMPER Cooking Oil -  1 tbsp Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp Urad dal -1 tsp Chana dal - 1 tsp Green chilli - 2 nos ( slit) Ginger - 1 inch piece ( chopped finely) Curry leaves - a sprig Asafetida - 1 pinch Grated coconut - 1/4 cup

METHOD

Take the water in a kadai and allow it to boil by adding the salt & a drop of oil. As soon as it starts to roll boil add the measured rice flour and stir well without forming lumps. It will become a soft, non sticky dough. Let it become warm. Then knead it well and make very small balls out of the warm dough by greasing your hands with little gingely oil. Steam cook the balls by arranging them in idly plate. It takes nearly 10 mins to cook. Now remove the balls carefully and set aside.
